RVTNUTMA / 6-15-2010 / 114401 / H96A056 / 11400 South Redwood / Relocate facilities in conflict with: UDOT Project S-P-157 (156) 293 SECTION 5; 11400 SOUTH REDWOOD ROAD TO 2200 W.
The dB loss calculations for the individual copper cable sections are:
Before:
5087' of 24GA
28 KHz = 8.33db
After:
7.027' of 24GA
28 KHz = 11.820
Change of +3.49 db loss

TACMWAFA / 6-10-2010 / 313002 / 02W2JU4 / 3535 E Roosevelt Ave / A Washington State road project requires relocation of Qwest facilities paralleling SR167 & I-5. This job will abandon 3,666' of F1 ADAC900 @ 28KHz-4.040 and place a new fiber fed RT, at 3535 E Roosevelt Ave, with placement of 4,692' F2 ANMW100 @ 28KHz=7.620 for a negetive change of +3.58dBloss. The furthest serving terminal affected by this relocation work is located 5.31Kf from the new RT/SAI. Although there is a negetive change in dB loss, the impacted circuits willl continue to work upon completion of this job.
